For what its worth, here is one I wrote called pickafile.
It is part of the package kies that I wrote.
Copy pickafile, getterm and catchkey into the execution path, e.g.
/usr/local/bin and copy pickafile.1 to a directory in your manpath, e.g.
/usr/local/man/man1
Two keys not yet documented is v for view based on
mime tipe and m for move or rename.
m is used a first time to identify what needs to be moved and a second
time once the place where it needs to be moved to, is reached. Name can
also be changed which is the rename of a file.

Hi Janina,
Good to knnow someone with your experience is also still looking.
I often just use
rm -i *.*
for file-by-file keep or delete.
Seems to me should be possible to build something in a shell script that
would do much of what we need.
I'll mess with that.
thanks
Tom

Hi, Tom:
I regret I don't have a good anwer for you. In fact, I have the same
need and have never satisfied it.
I never used "New Sweep." My nostaliga is for the "select copy," "select
delete," and "select move" commands built into the old 4DOS shell. Those
were the days.
Probably the best console level solution is via Emacspeak, which I don't
use enough to make that my solution.
I do sometimes use lynx on a directory. It doesn't do everything I used
to do in 4DOS, but it does let me look at the directory listing, one at
a time, and decide to keep or delete.
